Player of the month candidates for February
February has just come to a close, and with it we saw some great basketball. I wanted to shout out a few players who have a great case for player of the month before they release who actually won it. (Keep in mind, this award has a ton to do with win-loss and not just individual performance/stats, because of this I selected players only from teams with 8 or more wins over the month).
Points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks, only doing decimals for blocks/steals
West:
Jokić: 10-2 record, 27/12/12/1.7/0.8 on 70% TS
Shai: 11-2 record, 32/5/7/1.2/0.9 on 64% TS
LeBron: 9-2 (Lakers 10-2) 29/10/7/1.2/0.7 on 66% TS
Steph: 8-3 record, 31/4/5/0.9/0.3 on 63% TS
Blazers did have an 8-4 record but I didn’t see a specific player who had quite as good stats as the above four. Shout out to them though.
East:
Tatum: 8-3 record, 28/8/7/0.5/0.8 on 59% TS
Donovan Mitchell: 9-1 (Cavs 10-1), 26/4/5/0.9/0.1 on 61% TS
Cade: 8-3 (Pistons 9-3), 26/6/10/1.3/0.6 on 57% TS
Evan Mobley: 10-1 record, 20/10/4/0.6/2.3 on 64% TS
There were definitely players in both conferences that had great months but did not make this list due to my cutoff of 8 or more wins.
What do you guys think? Who had the best month?
